HEROES
Welcome to Milo's TV show 'Heroes' discussion thread #2
Thread #1 can be found HERE

ROLE: Peter Petrelli

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: A male nurse. A young dreamer who tries to convince his politician brother (Adrian Pasdar) that he can fly.

Scheduled to premiere on September 25, 2006

SHOW DESCRIPTION: Produced by NBC/Universal/Tailwind. Drama, Action/Adventure, Science-Fiction series.
It is a serial saga about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives. Not only are they discovering what having superpowers means to them but also the larger picture of where their superpowers come from. Eventually their superpowers draw them together when they try to evade the series' antagonist who wants to harness their super-DNA for himself.

(from NBC's press release) They thought they were like everyone else...until they woke with incredible powers. In Japan, a lowly office worker can teleport at will. In New York, a struggling artist can paint the future. In Los Angeles, a discontented beat cop can hear the thoughts of others. Heroes chronicles the lives of these people, and the lives of others like them – whose destiny just might be the saving of humankind...but first they must come to grips with their newfound powers. This original, edge-of-your-seat thriller will make you wonder if there really are heroes among us.

Of course, networks always change things around especially tv schedules, so as any new developments occur, it will be posted here.

About this: Networks don't even know what they're putting on in September yet for sure. There's no definite plan yet. Futon Critic got the Sept 11 thing from the projected NBC schedule. So we won't know for a few weeks what NBC decides. However, I feel like shows usually consistently start the third week in September, unless there is a conflict.

My best friend lives in LA and I told him about the Comic convention and he and I decided to try and go. I can't say for sure if I'll be there, but I'll try.

[darcybennett]

Thanks so much for starting the new thread, Kel! I adore the title!

Mar- that makes sense.

Sarah- *fingers crossed* for you to be able to go! I'll be so happy for you if you can make it there. Let us know how things go, okay? One way or the other.

[UltimateFan]

Thanks for starting a new thread! I can't wait for more news!

I hope you get to go. *crosses fingers* I'd love to be able to, but saving for a home must come before flying down to Comic Con. Unless...

No. House first, fangirl excursions later.

If you do decide to go, please try to take a camcorder! Pretty please?

[*just_her*]

Awesome about the Comic Con thing - I remember last year some people from Veronica Mars went and people manged to sneak in a few camcorders and share clips from the pannel so hopefully someone will be able to do the same this year for Heroes *prays*

[Shanti70]

My digital camera can do movies too, so if I can go I'll try to take some pics and maybe a small movie.

Thank you Shanti Everyone would really appreciate that

Was it a sign of fate back when Milo was asked in Zink magazine "If you could have just one super power, what would it be?" I liked his answer of "the power of persuassion".

If you suddenly had powers like the characters in Heroes, what one super power would you want?

[Shanti70]

I think I would want to have the same power as Milo, that of being an empath. I think you would have to be pretty grounded, emotionally, but at least you would have a positive power.

[Shanti70]

This is not intentional (a double post), just thought I'd bring this over from another site.

In Japan, a young man (Masi Oka) develops a way to stop time through sheer will power. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world.
